If you haven’t noticed, the huge and growing slums and shanties in the 3rd world aren’t too worried if there is enough oil to go around, they’re worried about something much more basic, like clean water and food.<BR/><BR/>If the liberals really want to save the world, I suggest you start there, I mean really GO there and tell them to stop fucking. I want you to actually DO something about it, instead of talking to your like-minded friends. I seriously doubt anything you say or do for them is going to save them from themselves. Just look at the way they live, do you truly think you can realistically change anything about that? They reproduce to the point of living - literally in their own shit and you think you can stop that with love and understanding? And the fact that you want to bring this here, to our country, is beyond my capacity for understanding, sorry.<BR/><BR/>Anytime you discuss the availability and cost of energy and it’s complimentary systems, you are talking about - The Limits of Growth. The carrying capacity of the world and its infrastructure can only be factored into the amount of service needed at any one time. If the system cannot keep-up with the pace of human reproduction, then no amount of socialism can suffice. And why you want to take from me (I’ve worked honestly for what little I have) and give to someone whom has proved to not be reliable or responsible is just plain idiotic, not to mention self-destructive in the long run. <BR/><BR/>The one fact of life that you need to grasp and understand as young as possible is that life is a very cruel and cold ordeal if you aren’t prepared for it or supported in some way, you know, nurtured into the nice person that you are. There are very desperate people that want what you have and will take it and ruin it, if they could. If you are one of the lucky ones, I do hope you’re thankful for what you have, for remember, tomorrow the good things may be gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-18961863417553158552009-03-13T10:18:00.000+00:002009-03-13T10:18:00.000+00:00Btw, there's an imposter using my profile id.

This correlation between home prices and mortgage rates was highly significant, and a far better indicator of rising home prices than the fed-funds rate," Greenspan wrote in the Wall Street Journal.<BR/><BR/>The Federal Reserve became aware of the disconnect between monetary policy and mortgage rates when the latter failed to respond as expected to the Fed tightening in mid-2004, said Greenspan, who was the Federal Reserve Chairman from 1987 to 2006.<BR/><BR/>Given the decoupling of monetary policy from long-term mortgage rates, accelerating the path of monetary tightening that the Fed pursued in 2004-2005 could not have prevented the housing bubble, he said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568749253826790814.post-81442057667482298352009-03-12T01:39:00.000+00:002009-03-12T01:39:00.000+00:00A couple thousand people around the world may have...A couple thousand people around the world may have thought about the concept of peak oil, including the dozens who read this blog.<BR/><BR/>In other words we are not making the fundamental changes now to our energy economy because no one cares.
